Silver Dollar City Food

In honor of Silver Dollar City opening last week for the 2014 season, we’ve been sharing tips for a fun trip to the theme park all month long. We started with our favorite rides, offering up options for children and families as well as adventurous daredevils. Then, last week we shared some basic Silver Dollar City tips so that you would know what to bring, what to wear, and what to do when you visited Branson’s favorite 1880s theme park. Finally, today we’re going to round out this little series by talking about Silver Dollar City food. Especially if you’re traveling with a big group, you know how frustrating it can be when people become fussy and hungry after a long day at a theme park. So before you go, check out your Silver Dollar City food options and make a basic plan for your day’s meals.

Silver Dollar City Food

First, I’d like to mention that Silver Dollar City, despite being an 1880s-themed park, does cater to modern guests with traditional amusement park concessions. You’ll find funnel cakes, kettle corn, pretzels, ice cream, cotton candy, nachos, and hot dogs throughout the park at small concession stands.

Next, let’s talk about the larger restaurants and food stands. As you’ll see, some of them stick to traditional 1880s Ozarks fare, while others dip into modern favorites:

Whew! So much Silver Dollar City food, so little time. If you love barbecue, you might also be interested in the House of Barbecue that pops up each summer during the Bluegrass and BBQ Festival. There, you’ll find barbecue sandwiches, brisket, pulled pork, chicken, ribs, salads, beans, rolls, and more. Or if your culinary cravings are a little more worldly, stop by during The Festival of Wonder for the Tastes of the World menu, which features items like Caribbean nachos, Greek salad, chicken cordon bleu, Korean tacos, Polynesian calzones, bratwurst, crepes, and chicken yakisoba.

Finally, if these Silver Dollar City food options aren’t tempting your tastebuds, or if you’re concerned about prices or specific dietary restrictions, remember that you can always pack your own food and drinks to bring inside the park. And if you’re worried about food allergies and contamination, check out the Silver Dollar City food webpage to find out which restaurants cater to special dietary needs.

I hope that by checking out your food options beforehand, you can avoid making a hungry, rushed decision when you visit the theme park. Have a great time at Silver Dollar City and bon appétit!
